Did Kyo change his fighting style back in the new KoFs?

The kyo fighting style thing has gotten on my nerves slightly over the years but now I can use both version just fine so it doesn't bother me.

What's the best way for someone new to the series to get into it? Somehow I missed out on KoF growing up, despite my love for arcades and 2D Fighters.

I've purchased all the compilations for PS2 and Wii since they've been quite cheap these last few years but it's a real beast of a franchise to try and grapple with.

Should I just start with '94 and try to finish it with the entire cast and then move onto '95?

Or should I just pick a couple characters that I am interested in and focus on them as I play through the series?

King of Fighters '98 is probably the best starting point - no story to confuse you and a ton of characters. King of Fighters 2002: Ultimate Match is better, but I had to import it. If you are a fan of Capcom's Versus Series, start off with King of Fighters XI - it's my personal favorite, actually.
